About CommentShark

CommentShark provides a comment finder and viewer for public YouTube videos and Shorts. Users paste a video URL and enter a keyword, phrase, @mention, hashtag, or emoji to see matching comments with author, timestamp, like count, and replies. A separate exporter downloads a full comment section to Excel or CSV. It works only on public videos and reflects what is publicly visible through the YouTube Data API. Logged-out users can search up to 1,000 comments per video, while logged-in users can search up to 2,000, and single-video search does not filter directly by author name.
